Goals
- Showcase the bounty Humboldt County has to offer
- Highlight the efforts of local producers and enhance marketing opportunities for farmers
- Support Farmer’s Market and North Coast Growers Association members, and encourage family farming
- Foster connection and community among those who grow, prepare and consume food
- Further the understanding of the links between farming, our local economy, food and health
- Local: Spend money in our community, support local businesses and our local economy; recognize the people who produce our food and promote these local identities
- Seasonal: What is available now is freshest, better tasting and more nutritious; respect the rhythm of the seasons
- Sustainability: No driving, flying, etc. leaves a smaller eco-footprint; support responsible resource management, moderate consumption and reduce environmental impact; encourage local production and distribution
- Organic whenever possible: fresh, seasonal produce without the use of harmful pesticides and fertilizers; no genetically modified or engineered foods
- Chef’s involvement and partnership with the Market: makes a direct and meaningful impact on the local community and economy; allows chef to connect more personally with the food; gives attention to the selection and proper use of raw ingredients, how the food is prepared and simple, seasonal flavors
- Creating an experience and providing an education: Food as a social event; focus on the sensory stimuli food provides as it is consumed, the way it is presented and the company with whom we share it; open a dialog/provide a setting for people interested in understanding where their food comes from
